Stem Cell Treatment for Fibromyalgia

New and exciting research into the effects of stem cell treatment for fibromyalgia is proving very promising.

Fibromyalgia affects millions of Americans, 80-90% of those affected are women between the ages of 40-75. Unfortunately, many women show signs of this condition but feel silly or trivial admitting that they are struggling with uncomfortable symptoms.

The feeling of being alone and not understood adds emotional pain to physical pain. It is a vicious cycle that can leave people feeling helpless.

This is a bewildering, and often, a very misunderstood condition that researchers are working hard to get a grasp on so that suffers can be relieved of their symptoms and live a more pain-free life.

Those who do struggle, are often presented with conventional treatment options that can have dangerous side effects. In recent years, there has been a lot of research done into stem cell treatment for fibromyalgia, and the results are looking very promising.

Want to learn more about this all-natural treatment method? We thought you would…

Let’s dive in.

What is Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition that’s most commonly associated with widespread chronic pain, fatigue, mood changes, and memory problems. It’s not a single disease, but rather a pattern of symptoms that can be managed with treatment.

It can be brought on by a variety of factors, including; physical or emotional trauma, infectious illness, hormonal changes, and more. Even with all the new research and technology we have in the medical field today, there is still no clear cause for the syndrome, and it is also often very difficult to diagnose.

It has historically been considered a musculoskeletal condition; however, research is now indicating that this is also related to the central nervous system as well.

What Are The Symptoms?

Difficulty sleeping

Pain that can range anywhere from mild to severe and can affect all areas of the body

Stiff joints in the morning

Falling sensations

Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet

Painful menstruation

Time lapses before the brain “kicks in”

Difficulty with thinking and memory, also known as “fibro fog”

Marketed weight loss or weight gain

Headaches

Fatigue

Swelling

Dizziness

Some people say that on top of the pains, it gives you an overall feeling of being ‘off kilt’ and a bit ragged around the edge no matter how much you try to have a great attitude and even when taking doctor-prescribed medications. You still feel like life if unraveling and you’re at the mercy of this life-altering challenge.

Diagnosing Fibromyalgia

As we mentioned, diagnosing this condition is often difficult due to the wide variety of symptoms and an overall misunderstanding of the condition.

In fact, many patients who suffer from fibromyalgia are often discriminated against and thought to be crazy, manipulative, and attention-seeking by their friends, family, and sometimes, their doctors. This is partly due to our inability to be able to diagnose a “true” medical condition.

Historically, doctors would check 18 specific pain points on the body to see how many of them were reported as painful by the patient when pressed upon firmly.

Newer diagnostic methods don’t use the tender point exam. Instead, a diagnosis can be made if a person reports having widespread pain in their body for longer than a three month period with no clear underlying condition that would explain their pain.

Additionally, doctors often perform blood tests. There’s no way to confirm a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, however, your doctor will likely try to rule out any of other conditions that have similar symptoms.

You’ve probably started to sense why so many people who suffer from this condition feel hopeless; doctors have a difficult time pinpointing exactly what is going on, and, and therefore proper treatment is often overlooked.

Sounds frustrating, right?

Conventional Treatment Options and Why They May Be Dangerous

Considering this condition is so difficult to diagnose, and it is not yet fully understood, there are many different treatment options that sufferers can be prescribed. Traditional treatment options typically include both medication and self-care.

Conventional treatments include:

Medications

Pain relievers, antidepressants, and anti-seizure drugs are prescribed to help relieve the pain that is commonplace in sufferers. It goes without saying that taking any kind of drug for a long period of time to manage symptoms is dangerous and wrought with dangerous side effects, however, this is often the first thing prescribed to sufferers as it provides a quick fix for the pain they are feeling.

Therapy

Physical and occupational therapies are often recommended for fibromyalgia sufferers to help reduce the effects on this condition on their body and life. Counseling is another form of therapy that is recommended to patients as a way to help strengthen their minds and deal with difficult situations.

Lifestyle Remedies

Self-care is believed to be a hugely important treatment option. Self-care techniques such as; maintaining a healthy diet, exercising, reducing stress, getting enough sleep, etc. are thought to be some of the best ways to manage your symptoms.

Unfortunately, there seems to be little no positive response from patients to conventional treatment methods in the long-term. Instead, sufferers are forced to live with horrendous pain, depression, fatigue, and an overall feeling of misery.

Until now…

Stem Cell Treatment for Fibromyalgia

Although traditional forms of treatment seem to be failing patients, there is a ray of hope in the use of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Treatments.

Stem cell treatment is becoming more well-known and widely accepted as a safer, more natural treatment option for a variety of illnesses, fibromyalgia included. Stem cells are capable of modifying some of the brain’s neurotransmitters, like serotonin and dopamine, to effectively reduce the nagging symptoms and pain associated with this condition.

Most of the patients that are turning to alternative treatment methods, like stem cells, are the ones who have lived with the debilitating pain and fatigue for years and have tried every traditional treatment method out there, to no avail.

According to recent case studies, the advancements in stem cell research may provide more effective treatment methods. Stem cell therapy may have the ability to reduce or eliminate the need for chronic drug administration and have longer-lasting side effects.

The result? Improved quality of life for those who suffer and a significant reduction in healthcare costs.

Stem cells are showing great potential for fibromyalgia sufferers, giving them the potential for immediate symptom relief in a completely safe and natural way. Stem cell injections help contribute to the restoration of tissue homeostasis, which helps relieve the painful and disruptive symptoms associated with this condition.

This unique and exciting treatment method leverages the rejuvenating properties of stem cells to heal the pain-causing centers located throughout your body. Stem cells are injected into the body and carried to the site of injury and pain via a protein called SDF-1.

Once the cells arrive, they immediately get to work repairing the damage while simultaneously reproducing healthy cells. The result? A body that is restored in a natural way and substantial pain relief.

Sound too good to be true? It isn’t. New research into the positive effects of stem cells is being conducted every day, and more and more fibromyalgia patients are finding the relief they deserve.

This is definitely NOT a cure for fibromyalgia. Yet, this natural pain relief treatment shows such promise with the types of results that it just makes sense to look into how regenerative medicine may be a better option than the many over-the-counter options that have dangerous side effects.

Stem Cell Treatment for Fibromyalgia: Conclusion

Fibromyalgia sufferers should celebrate the fact that there is a safer, more natural way to manage and even cure their painful symptoms.

The use of stem cell treatment to combat chronic pain in the body is becoming more and more widespread and accepted as a viable treatment option for numerous ailments.
